Yes
When we're booking deliveries and collections for our equipment, we often check out the locations on Google Earth to see whether there might be any difficulties for the delivery drivers. Sometime we see things on the satellite view that we weren't expecting.

For starters, this appears to be a Harrier Jump Jet in a front garden near Petersfield. It's an area where there are lots of big houses, so maybe his neighbour has Bugatti Veyron or a helicopter or something like that, and this is just a bit of casual one-upmanship.

So how do you top that? Well, on a disused military site near Chobham, partly covered with a tarpaulin and surrounded by shipping containers, we found this.

Remarkable.
 
Any Wookies about?
 
That Falcon is one used for the last film.
IIRC it's gone now. :-)
 
Melange?
 
Petersfield is in Hampshire, not Surrey

Pedant ;)

But yes, I had feeling I had not spelled it correctly :(

Make sure your suit is in good order and that the heel pumps are undamaged!
 
Wrong plane too - he has/had a Lightning. (That was one of my first thoughts too.)

He had a lightning, for a short while, until his wife Frances made him get rid of it. Mind you they've probably got a divorce in the offering as they've been seperated for a while.
She's a much better driver than him, used to compete in Caterhams.

Am I missing something here Stewart?
A week or so back you got everyone going with thread about toothpaste, now you're worrying about your courier's drivers...
So, it seems to me that either your business is going great guns, you've appointed someone else to run it and you're at a loose end, or the opposite, and you have too much time on your hands :)
